Re: Upgrading Headlights
Currently I have 25 year old pair of Hella H-4's with relays installed. But I have a brand new set of the Koito H-4's in the garage that I plan on using to do a comparison test with when I install them.

Re: Upgrading Headlights
I have the LMC and yes the packageing says made in china....but so far it works fine
I also have one in my 67 Camaro I bought from Speedway for about the same $ a few years ago. It just came in a zip loc bag. IDK origin but assume some place in US make it. I also have had no issues with it either Time will tell if either presents issues or if a relay needs replacing |

More my style and is my current setup. DOT, clear glass housing with replaceable bulb. I prefer regular halogen bulbs. Cheaper to replace. Easier to find. More of an OEM look. Wiring setup is required and is brighter than OEM with better light pattern. I've done the same style setup with my '87 Chevy and my Jeep. It reads "Each headlight includes a wiring adaptor to connect to the appropriate factory wiring." But I'd recommend the headlight harness. Last edited by desert-rat; 10-18-2022 at 05:26 AM. |

Re: Upgrading Headlights
my .02 worth on the original question, have always found the Hella E-code housings, good quality H4 bulbs and the relay harness to be as bright or brighter than any Chinese-made LED "kits"
